1119 The One and Only Me (1/2)
Boom—
The celestial palace collapsed, and the Numinous Sky Hall behind Jing Baichuan also crumbled. He stretched out his palm, seemingly wanting to stop the celestial palace he had cultivated from crumbling. Instead, his body fell along with the destroyed celestial palace.
Eventually, all of the celestial palaces disappeared, turning into the spirit energy and force of heaven and earth, leaving only the corpse of Jing Baichuan, which fell onto the ruins of the Endless Clouds Palace.
Qin Mu stepped forward and lifted up Yu Chudu, who was among the ruins. He said solemnly, ”Yan'er, don't leave any survivors, not even their souls. I don't want Celestial Venerable Hao to trace it back to me.”
Upon hearing his order, Yan'er got excited. She turned into a dragon sparrow and pounced on those four strong practitioners at the Jade Capital Realm. At the same time, the dragon qilin jumped onto the ship and charged towards the gods and devils on it.
Yu Chudu was out of breath and unable to stand up. He could only sit on the ground as he bowed at Qin Mu. ”Many thanks to Celestial Venerable Mu…”
Qin Mu laughed. ”Just call me Senior Uncle.”
”Senior Uncle…” Yu Chudu was bewildered.
Qin Mu gave a faint smile and was about to speak when, suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind him. Her voice was pleasant as she faintly said, ”Celestial Venerable Mu, you've killed Celestial Venerable Hao's disciple. Are you not afraid to die?”
”In that case, why did Heavenly Master not stop me?”
Qin Mu turned around and looked at Bai Yujing, who was standing nearby. ”Que Feiyin, it's been a long time since we met. Is that jade pendant still on your primordial spirit?”
Bai Yujing was dressed from head to toe in white, different from the red clothing she used to wear in her previous life. Her figure was graceful and elegant like fine white jade, and her skin was as soft as snow.
She met Qin Mu's gaze with a complex expression. She raised and then lowered her hands, seemingly in a dilemma.
”Celestial Venerable Mu, I'm the third heavenly master of the celestial heavens. Logically, I should arrest you and bring you to justice. However, you're also the benefactor who saved my life. Without your jade pendant, I might still be an ignorant girl getting killed by Son of Heaven Yin over and over again.”
Bai Yujing sighed, her breath smelling of orchids and irises. ”I discriminate clearly between grudges and gratitude. I won't pursue the matter this time, treating it as though nothing has happened. I can even help you hide this from Celestial Venerable Hao. Celestial Venerable Mu, we'll part ways here…”
When she turned to leave, Qin Mu smiled and said, ”Que Feiyin, do you remember your master?”
Bai Yujing trembled slightly and stopped walking.
Qin Mu continued talking, saying, ”Don't you want to know about your reincarnation muddle-headedness? About why Son of Heaven Yin would want to kill you over and over again and then allow you to reincarnate? Did that vermillion bird feather make you recall anything?”
She took out the vermillion bird feather and stared at the Vermillion Bird Scared Fire in a daze.
The heart of Qin Mu's brows opened, and deep in the pupil of his eye, rows of runes of ancient primordial Great Dao on the egg of Celestial Emperor Tai Chu glowed, converging into sight. The Qin word land shook as the Youdu Great Dao rippled, rushing into the Grand Primordium Origin Stone at the center of the Qin word land.
The Origin Stone combined the Dao of Tai Chu with the Youdu Great Dao, gradually raising the power of his third god eye.
Qin Mu used the eye at the heart of his brows to look at Bai Yujing. Instantly, he saw the experiences and encounters of this female emperor's entire life.
From her birth to her becoming a divine arts practitioner, then becoming a god. He could see how she cheated death time and time again, avoiding Son of Heaven Yin's ambushes. He also saw the period during the Founding Emperor Era, where her reputation shook the world, ambushing Son of Heaven Yin.
Qin Mu's gaze pierced deeper, looking at all her previous lives, looking back upon how she died each time.
Bai Yujing was still standing there. Suddenly, she tossed away the vermillion bird feather and smiled as she turned around. ”Celestial Venerable Mu, I don't want to know. I'm simply me, the one and only me! In this world, there's only one Bai Yujing!”
Her lovely hair fluttered, cutting off Qin Mu's line of sight. She then turned and left, walking off in a carefree manner.
Bai Yujing came to the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge, then looked back and smiled. ”Celestial Venerable Mu, I'm not South Deity! If you want me to become South Deity, then you're making an enemy of me!”
